Pinwheels

After I watched the pinwheel video on Sarah's blog I grabbed this charm pack ...

and some white cotton and made these.

I liked how they were looking ...

and ended up with this.

It reminds me a bit of some of the Schnibble quilts that I've seen in blogland this year. At this stage, I'm thinking of adding a simple piano key border made from the leftover charm squares. Then maybe another thin white border and a scrappy binding. What do you think?

Lately this has become one of Oliver's favourite spots for his afternoon nap ...

such a cutie when he's asleep and not trying to 'help' me in the sewing room.

My bags are packed and ready to go to Exeter tomorrow for Kerry's workshop.

Can't wait to start sewing with the gorgeous Luna Notte fabrics I showed last post.

Pinwheels are my absolute favorites!! I think piano key border will be fantastic here. I just want to reach into the computer and give that Oliver a little pat on the head. He is just adorable. What is it about quilts and cats?

Oh... I have the same charmpack.. and havent decided to do with them... and your pinwheels are just perfect.. it is a lot of busy prints in the pack.. and all the white around takes it down... super clever.. may I copy you..:O))
